New political frustrations aired in Tea Party re-enactment
BOSTON — Americans are venting their frustrations with the current political climate by chucking tea into Boston Harbor. Sound familiar?
The Boston Tea Party Museum has been encouraging Americans to send them loose tea leaves to toss into Boston’s waters this Saturday as part of its fifth annual re-enactment of the historic act of defiance that preceded the Revolutionary War.
The museum received more than 200 tea submissions as part of the new campaign.
Roughly 30 per cent came from people who said they’re dissatisfied with today’s political climate, museum spokeswoman Stephanie Loeber said.
